Simplify the Matrix [[-1-i,-1],[2,1-i]]

Problem

[[−1−i,−1],[2,1−i]]

Solution

1. Identify the task, which is to simplify the given 2×2 matrix containing complex numbers.

2. Observe the entries of the matrix to see if any arithmetic operations or common factors can be applied to the individual elements.

3. Conclude that the entries −1−i −1 2 and 1−i are already in their simplest rectangular form (a+b*i, and there are no scalar factors common to all entries that would simplify the representation further.

Final Answer

[[−1−i,−1],[2,1−i]]=[[−1−i,−1],[2,1−i]]
